"My opinion-if you are old enough to serve your country, you're old enough to be served alcohol. JMHO."

I have mixed feelings about this issue,
I know I got my arse shot off in Nam when I was 20 in 1969 and still couldn't get a drink in a lot of places in America but I also understand the reasoning behind limiting the drinking age to 21...

Maybe the enlistment/draft age should be raised to 21 along with the drinking and smoking for that matter.

Raising the enlistment age to 21 would also give young people the time to go to college and get an education uninterrupted... just a thought...

Semper Fi,
Kelly

Would someone please tell me: What happens between 23:55 hrs. on the night before your 21st birthday, and 00:00hrs begining the day of your birthday that all of a sudden makes you a responsible adult?

OK, let some states decide the drinking age should be 18, let others make it 21 - or even higher - but make it the STATE's choice.

The Fed Gov has no d@mn business being involved in this question.
